Constitutional Abrogation

The trampling of liberty is getting downright blatant. Is anyone paying attention? besides me, I mean. The following is from the Associated Press yesterday:

President Bush, again defying Congress, says he has the power to edit the Homeland Security Department’s reports about whether it obeys privacy rules while handling background checks, ID cards and watchlists.

In the law Bush signed Wednesday, Congress stated no one but the privacy officer could alter, delay or prohibit the mandatory annual report on Homeland Security department activities that affect privacy, including complaints.

But Bush, in a signing statement attached to the agency’s 2007 spending bill, said he will interpret that section “in a manner consistent with the President’s constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch.”

What the hell is this dry-drunk little bitch up to? Setting up a dictatorship? While Americans play X-Box and stuff empty calories into their faces and watch Wife Swap he and his merry band of thieves are stealing our fucking country and destroying our birthright.

Homeland Security falls down on the job? Redact the reports and it never happened, see? Real convenient. Well newsflash BushBot - this is my country too, and I am sick of you and your Unitary Executive bullshit.

Bonapart once advised that you should never interupt your enemy while he is doing something stupid. So carry on, Georgie. There is a big flock of chickens heading home to roost.

Is it possible to overdose on Schadenfreude?
